This sounds good.  I'd make it an attribute of canvas with a setter that 
calls the underlying API on the sprite - you could put it into 
LzScreenKernel.showFullScreen(show:Boolean).  I would avoid adding a new 
method to canvas - setAttribute('fullscreen', show:Boolean) ought to do 
the job.  You may want to add a capability to the sprites (true for swf, 
false for dhtml) so you can decide when to call this from the canvas, 
and warn where it's not available.  See lz.view.setRotation() for an 
example of this...
